I love this brush, itīs getting better and better as it breaks in - soft tips with a good backbone. Face lather today and I put the scuttle in the refrigerator an hour before the shave :y. Razor was excellent, I was thinking of getting rid of it, becuase itīs very close to my MK no: 31 (which I like the design of the blade better), but itīs shaving like a dream and will be staying. Got a nice menthol kick from the Omega soap and Proraso, but when I splashed the Alcolado on, I actually danced an Irish sword dance for a couple of secs :mexwave:
After Sham got a hold of it and put it to some amazing Japanese stones this week, it shaves a good as it looks! :tuQuote:

The Genco razors enjoy a well deserved reputation as great shavers, and this one is no exception!
This was the first straight razor I honed myself, and it provided my first straight razor shaves. I touched it up this morning on the stones, and today's shave is a testament to how much I've learned, and how far I've come... Just an awesome shave! Everything is coming together..
First time for the Gibbs Marine Fresh cream, and it was outstanding... Very enjoyable.
